This report, which has been prepared by
the World Bank in cooperation with the National Statistical
Committee, provides an assessment of poverty in the Kyrgyz
Republic using the most recent data available. The objective
of this report is to understand to what extent economic
growth has reduced poverty and led to improved living
conditions for the population during 2000-2005. The report
also attempts to answer three questions about the Kyrgyz
Republic: what is the profile of poor? How has economic
growth affected the level and composition of poverty? How
has the labor market contributed to changes in poverty? The
report is divided into two volumes. The first volume begins
with this chapter which provides an international comparison
of social and other key indicators of the Kyrgyz Republic
followed by a profile of the poor based upon 2005 household
survey data. The second chapter analyzes the linkages
between growth and poverty during 2000-2005. The third
chapter provides our key findings of labor market outcomes
and poverty and what the implications are for policy making.
The final chapter synthesizes the information from the
earlier chapters and provides some policy directions. The
second volume provides a more thorough analysis of labor
markets. It covers developments in the labor market, urban
labor markets, rural labor markets and differences between
men and women in the labor market.
